Hi all, Ages ago I mentioned to list a very old book on the local Canal I'd come across at COBS, by LTC Rolt - a few of you enquired about it at the time - think I gave some HONE family info from it It was first published in 1944, a very small (6x4) canvas covered book. Today I noticed Banbury TIC/Museum had it for sale in its new format, a much bigger, glossy covered paperback. 'Narrowboat' by LTC Rolt ISBN 0-7509-0806-8 Published by Alan Sutton price £9.99 Maybe ought to be put on the *wish list* for xmas, by our members with a 'Canal family' interest :>) Angela :>) admin Banbury list

Hi Jill & all, John Kalabergo had arrived in England about 1806, firstly to Birmingham where he was befriended by a watch repairer, (who taught him a lot!) then to Northampton & he finally settled in Banbury around 1811. According to the booklet produced by St John's RC Church ... 'A Heritage preserved', JK gave one of the largest contributions to secure the purchase of building land for the future St John's Church. Before the church was built its recorded that Fr. Hersant ... ''often celebrated Mass on an oaken chest of drawers in a Catholic house in the old market place'' the most likely house to have been selected was no.36 Market Place,'' home & shop of devout Catholic, JK'' (JK later moved to the High St) John was buried on Friday Jan 16th 1852 in St John's churchyard. From all you read on this story it becomes obvious that JK was a much loved & respected man within the area & done much to help the poorest of the townsfolk - ie, weavers living in 'Tanyard' when the weaving industry declined, providing money to educate children - so they may have a better life. The 'stone' Betty/Jill mentions -- '' A few friends of the late JK erected a memorial stone to their highly esteemed townsman on Williamscote Hill'' The stone 'was' in the old Banbury Museum, several years ago it went missing, presumed stolen! The book Rhoda mentioned may interest other members also, as it is written in a way that takes you around the town/Chipping Warden/Williamscote/Wardington/ Fenny Compton , plus others on JK's travels - mentioning friends/customers/pubs/ publicans/the ones that found his body & were involved with the trial of his nephew, you get to know them all in some small way. Thats just the first 99 pages - the last part of the book (32 pages) covers ........... ''Rusher's original 1851 Banbury Directory''. I know some of the names & places will mean something to some of you. Tandy/Strange/Herbert/Tasker/Welford/Payne/Hancock/Lines/Lomas/Saul/ Pinfold/Garret/Griffin/Hirons/Walker/Ward/Hancock/Craddock + some ... anyway book is ------ John Kalabergo of Banbury by E.R Lester printed by Joshua Associates Ltd, Oxford (1975/6) No ISBN number (very much a local book) The TIC/Museum in Banbury have a 'few' copies still for sale at £6.50 Angela :>) admin Banbury

Hello Anthea, Adobe is no problem, many thanks for the will of Nicholas. To answer your question re the intermarriage of SOUTHAM & YOWICKE tribes; Nicholas YOUICK married Joyce SOUTHAM 18 Jan 1627 Banbury, Prs. Their son Thomas - no bp. In the will of James SOUTHAM dated 2 Apr 1632 he leaves one shilling to his (cousin) Thomas YOUICK. The parents of Joyce SOUTHAM were James and Ann.

Dear Anthea, I have really enjoyed reading this will, what wonderful words and terms. My hubby and I have just written our wills, and what dull things they are compared to this, I have been thinking of ways to enhance them, but we have just one child, and anyway saying To John the John Deere tractor, To Paul the Massey Ferguson does not have the same ring to it.!!!!!!!!

To my son Christopher, tow beasts, Browning and a black Hereford which is at Woodford. To John the son of Richard, a black heifer which is at Woodford. To Richard, two horses, Hob and Short. To Christopher, the mare. The colt shall be between them. To Richard, eight ewes and lambs. To Thomas, son of Richard, a hoggerell. To Richard, five sheep more, a theave and four hoggrells. To Mary, my daughter a theave. TO Elizabeth DENZY, the daughter of John DENZY (granddaughter), a theave. To Christopher, three sheep, one sow and one store pig and 'half the piglets when they be pigged at five weeks old.' To Richard, the other half at the same age, the best cart, the best plough. To Christopher, the other cart and plough. The rest of my plough timbers, harrows and the like to be shared between them. The firewood and the rest of the timber and wood about the ground between them also. Richard has the malt mill but Christopher has the use of it when needed and the leave, the oven and the kiln is to be shared. Richard and Christopher had to plough a 'quartern' of land for John DENZY and 'raise all manner of ramiges' for four years. And so the will goes on dividing up the household goods, beds, coffers, warming pans etc., all between the two sons. I wonder why his daughter only got a theave, which I believe is a plank of wood? The overseers were: Thomas Holloway (the vicar), Thomas WALLIS, George HOPKINS and George GORSTELOW. The witnesses were John CLERIDGE and John DENZY.

Hi all, Very many thanks for all the fascinating and useful replies, let alone the hint of ghost stories and scary bicycle rides from Mary and Betty.......! Must get to Banbury in 2005 I think! Good that the 1851 census does list G.K. as "barometer maker", only a year before the murder. Bill, thanks for that ref., should be able to pinpoint the site of his workshop perhaps. Betty, the museum is obviously a must! Wonder what the stone's inscription is. Thanks. Eleanor, sorry to say my computer could not gain access to the Times trials site. Tried doing it via Google as well, wonder whether the trial period has ended or whether it is simply down for maintenance. Or recognised my address wasn't yours? Tantalising! The only new thing I came across was that Charlotte Yonge's "The Trial" is possibly based on the Kalabergo murder. Thanks to alerting me to the Times project, obviously a hugely valuable source when available. As for the book, Rhoda....! Will be on to it right away, couldn't believe it. Yet more thanks. And also for the warning about the spelling, Ian. Angela, your help is much appreciated. We found an identical barometer on line, and yes, it was valued at more than that, and is much appreciated by the sibling who has it. If you or Christine at the museum come up with any more info this will be great. Again, grateful thanks. I had no idea that posing what looked like a straightforward enquiry would produce so much of interest! Thanks to all. Keep it coming! Jill Hopefully off into the garden on the advice of my vastly inferior barometer!
